Mulch Conserves Water!
Mulch is like icing on a cake, because it keeps the soil moist the way icing keeps a cake moist. Mulch slows evaporation allowing water to sink into the soil, moderates soil temperature and breaks down into nutrients for plants. Be sure to add three to four inches of organic mulch (e.g. leaves, wood chips) around trees and plants for the greatest benefit.

The Colfax "Bucket Band" and How to Water Young Trees

Just in time for Arbor Day, PCWA's Linda Higgins and the Colfax High School “bucket band” have teamed up to film a short, public service video demonstrating the best way to water your young trees. The 12-member bucket band, which was drawn from students in the high school’s music program, created an original composition for this tree-mendous video.

Young trees need water delivered slowly and deeply to make sure it gets down to their roots and isn’t lost to evaporation or run off. The best way to do this is by using a five-gallon bucket. It’s a method that can’t be beat!

Watch the video and read the news release to learn more about how to water young trees.

Thank you, Falcons!
